nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 06/07/2012 6:19 pm Is the slot for the Capped Bust quarter on the 7070 designed for the larger diameter 1831-36, or the smaller diameter 1837-38 coins? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/07/2012 6:41 pm Ack, I knew that did not seem right but the only reference I had available at the time was US Coin Facts Adding to my confusion, I knew that the Bust Quarter in my 7070 was an 1834. Looks like a correction is in order for the ol' Facts page Edited by biokemist6 06/08/2012 12:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 06/07/2012 8:47 pm You've got the dates mixed up a bit: 1815 to 1828: Large Size - 27 mm. 1831 to 1838, Small Size - 24.3 mm. The 7070 has a slot for the small size only - which is too bad in my opinion... My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 06/08/2012 3:20 pm I don't think the coin facts is correct . gasp - I know! This came from PCGS: Quote: In 1831 the size of the quarter was reduced from a diameter of 27 mm to that of 24.3 mm. This smaller size is what we still see today in our Washington quarters. Designer William Kneass also made a number of changes from the 1815-1828 capped bust design, which includes the elimination of the motto on the reverse. http://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/com....aspx?c=3492 My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36745 Posts	Posted 06/10/2012 3:36 pm Since they only put one Capped Bust Dime and Quarter in the set, they went with the more common smaller size on both. Wish they still made the older type set album with all types from 1793. Report this Post to the Staff
jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 06/10/2012 8:53 pm IndianGoldEagle, if you want a type set with more variety, try the Whitman United States Type Set, 2 albums #s 9434 and 9535. I bought my two in 1960 so they stop with the types in use in 1960 but still between the 2 albums they have a total of 87 varieties, including the killer half dollar 1796-1797. Quite a challenge to complete. Report this Post to the Staff
